Funeral Moscow

[eva777]

Indeed, very sorry!
And the worst thing that this does not stop.
For a long time lived on Plyushchikha, and there was a quay, not built-up, the only one in Moscow. Over the past 5 years it built up and remained little square, which, of course, "ennobled" benches and lamps, and, before that happened, the local residents, which just did not take - and demonstrations, writing wherever they can, and .... nothing helped. They wanted to build up and built up.
So, again, very sorry!

Watch and read the pain! Where Moscow from my childhood? I do not know if it were not for old photos ...

Previously, the artists have written to Moscow, now nowhere to write.

Earlier artists have written to Moscow, now nowhere to write.

It should therefore be particularly appreciated by artists, who once wrote that Moscow ... for what it was in 60-80 years. I love Moscow Roginsky.

That's right, the center being built on all new buildings. Houses squeezed himself, where possible. Where there were once parks and free spaces, unbend and feet and eyes, increased monsters who have broken the harmony, which was established by previous generations of architects. Of course, Moscow is not accustomed to be subjected to barbaric desecration. At the beginning of perestroika, I sincerely believed that it stop. But not here - it was! The destruction of Moscow not only continued, but flared up!
      In all of this, in Moscow, especially in the east, there is a huge industrial area, not representing any no historical or artistic value, which just asks to be ennobled by modern buildings. And in the center of the building you can find anything from itself is not presented. Why are destroyed and the fragile Remade unrecognizable fragments of old Moscow!? No, no, yes and zakradetsya idea: rather than specifically whether it is done? As if trying to deprive us of the memory of the memory that connects us with our ancestors, of the memory, which gives us confidence in the present and hope for the future!

It's terrible what they do! I even go there I'm afraid to not get upset! And so it flies in the daily bustle of dying in a car by witnesses of our history!
      I do not know of any other such cities, where would such a negligent attitude to face its past! London, Paris, Vienna, Rome, Berlin show us examples of respect for the history, whatever it may be. History as a mother - it does not choose!

The main culprit Moscow outrages, the destroyer of the historical appearance of the capital all believe the old man Baturin. What is certainly true. Construction and contracting couple pretty worked on the problem of architectural heritage. Somewhere in itself, somewhere - a loyal company (which may become invalid and, as perestroikists hotel "Russia" Chigirinsky). Snotty Voentorg in place an outstanding monument of architecture; spherical cap on the former site of the Manege Square. And so yes, Lee - on the list. As compensation for judges of authenticity proposed line from Stalin's national anthem at the newly restored "Kursk". "We were brought up Stalin allegiance to the people." It sounds like the voice of the subconscious.


But. The old man Baturin and reliable baturintsy acted to the best of their own understanding. Who are they? Basically - shanties of the poor guys who spend his childhood in a dream of a rich and bright. Merry leaders ovoschebaz, by an irony of history found themselves leaders of megacities. Capable and even charming at first. But completely devoid of cultural outlook. Carriers of wild ideas about the beautiful. The main thing - to all large, clean, brilliant. With turrets. Because the tower useless. Only the beggar thinks necessary; luxury is in excess.

These same qualities are endowed with some successful metropolitan builders, bright nouveau riche who are convinced that the Melnikov House in downtown is no place better to transport it somewhere far away, so as not to interfere (in fact, quoting an interview with one of them).

From rags to riches; to Sharikov principle: so lucky so lucky. And if you bring a historical and aesthetic claims, it is not so much to them as knowledgeable advisors in the ignorant government. In the end, Baturin are entitled to retire, for the buzzing of bees next favorite albums Andriyaki posohinskie and looking at the drawings. Not having the right to another: to impose their taste country. And this is a question for the professionals, built-in power and /or beneficial interaction with it.

With our strong, talented architects do not know what is happening with the capital? In a closed circle, do not condemn those who have disfigured? They know the condemned. But co-operation - continue.

Community at least once in a boycott are incompatible with the title of the architect? Does anyone had to leave the profession, because reputation is ruined? The previous head of the Moscow Heritage Committee (newly appointed until that tries to behave differently) all knew and said nothing. Or Moscow chief architect. Unlike his boss, he is well versed in the history of culture. At meetings quietly opposed to the obvious evils. But when the authorities need - covers up its own authority. Reasoning about the danger of wooden floors. On the priority of security over the authenticity of (the last example - from an interview about the demolition in Sadovnicheskaya). And the undeniable talent of universal Sir Norman Foster. Power gets receptor and acts. Of course: knowing people say!

The whole system is kept in Moscow that specialists launder dilettantes. And while no protests and resignations. Only general povyazannost and involvement. Scientific experts at the Governor. Pliant fellow scientists specialists. And colleagues of colleagues. It will take decades, the policy will be forgotten, bleaching factory earned no money, and encyclopedias will remain in litters: architects such and such and such and such, and such that were talented, but surrendered unconditionally, and are responsible for the disappearance of the historic town .

In the 19 th century Osman destroyed a lot of buildings 17 and 18 centuries in Paris and ponastroit the fact that there is today. And now we know and love this Paris.
Of course, in Moscow, a slightly different situation.
Dully destroy what you can save and keep for posterity - barbaric!
